Oral question by Anna Hedh to the Commission on the EU's alcohol strategy

8 September 8 2009

Please note that the question below will be answered at the next plenary session.

It is nearly three years since we adopted the EU's alcohol strategy. The intention was that it should be assessed by the summer of 2009. I understand that the Commission has opted to postpone this assessment. Why has the strategy not been assessed? When can we expect an assessment of the EU's alcohol strategy? How has the Commission supervised the implementation of the strategy in the various Member States?
